Yesterday afternoon I received an email informing me that I’ve been awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Lync in 2012!

To give you a bit of information about what the MVP Award is, here is Microsoft’s description:

The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award is our way of saying thank you to exceptional, independent community leaders who share their passion, technical expertise, and real-world knowledge of Microsoft products with others.

I’m massively honoured to be recognised for my community contributions over the last year and I thank you for reading my blog and sending in your questions/comments. I’m excited to continue to write and speak more about Lync and help more and more IT Pros learn about the product.

I’m also looking forward to collaborating more with the almost 50 other Lync MVPs worldwide both online and at MVP Summit in February next year. You can check out my MVP Profile here.
